XP hangs when viewing of many thumbnails saved in a folder

I'm organize my photos (all the .jpg) and placed all the photos in one folder. When I go to view... Miniatures and scroll down, XP hangs completely and I have to hard reboot the computer. I deleted the "Thumbs.db" file and tried again, but that has not worked. I've split the files in different folders, but still have the problem on a number of subdirectories. Did someone knows if there is a patch to do this, or is there a limit of size of file/folder when you view the thumbnails? Thank you.

Sounds like a question of system resources. Don't you
have enough free space on your hard drive?

Might be interesting to try to add more RAM and/or

    Hi douglash21414001,

    I think maybe it's a coincidence, that nothing is installed with ExportPDF, so nothing should have changed your web browser. That said, you can clear the cache of the browser and then re-open your browser. (What browser do you use?)

    You can also try to restart your computer, if the browser is restarted does not solve the problem. But still, I don't think that this problem is related to the ExportPDF.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • What can I do to prevent Firefox from hanging when I leave after having tried all the suggested fixes?

    Running Windows 7 with all updates. Starting with version 29.0.1 of Firefox, Firefox often hangs when I go out. When you restart Firefox, I get "Firefox is already running but is not responding... ». I then have to manually stop firefox.exe * 32 front I can restart the program. I applied all of the suggested fixes (disable all addons, extension and themes), and made sure I can delete the parent.lock file. Also noted the closing delay mentioned with Vista user. I have the error message occur several minutes after the release of Firefox, although I have often used the X button at the top of the right screen to exit Firefox always without any problems in the past. The function of this key has changed too?
    In any case, I use now exit the menu button drop down, but still have the problem of blocking.

    This is a bug in Firefox 29 where Firefox crashes out when the setting 'clear history of Firefox closing' is selected.

    If you use custom settings for history in your Firefox Privacy options and selecting 'Clear history of Firefox closing', remove the checkbox. See this article for more details:

  • Piece of Apple's music hangs when downloading

    Hello

    Very often when I play an album on Apple music track hangs when downloading. Download line is blue, but nothing happens. Sometimes, after a long while, is starting. When I double click on the track, he goes to the next and when I double click on it once again the track begins to download and play immediately. It is with iTunes on Mac OX 10.11.5 12.4.1.6. It was the same with previous versions. The Internet connection is fine when I test if a track is suspended. I have to add that I am using Airplay, but it makes no difference what camera I'm streaming to.

    Best regards

    Werner.

    Hey wdonne!

    It is important to be able to download music and listen to it unless it is interrupted. So, lets take a look and see which is the cause because you mentioned that what is also happening on previous versions.

    First, take a look at this article here that helps out with downloads not completing: If an iTunes Store purchase suddenly stops downloading

    We want to do is to reinstall iTunes to see if it would deal with the issue if the steps above does not.  Here, this article gives you the steps on how to do it: OS X El Capitan: reinstall the applications that came with your Mac

    If it still does not after you complete these steps, we need to isolate the problem more far away to see what is the cause.

    What we want to do next is to test in an new user account and the Safe Mode to see if it works or not.  (Please note that Safe Mode, he would not listen to you, but it would allow you to see whether or not the download ends.) After these two, it allow you to isolate the problem more far away to see what is causing the problem.

    Have a wonderful day!

    When I open many tabs and browse in this tab, then the Firefox 4 browser is unresponsive. This happens especially when I navigate on any kinds of download page for all sites. Some time later he solved automatically and I can sail again. What can I do now?

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

  • Tecra S1 hangs when installing XP

    Hello
    I have a weird problem. My Tecra S1 'hangs' during the installation of a 'normal' Windows XP Pro (instead of using the ' image DVD). The fine installation until the 9 last minutes... then it 'hangs', and the laptop is no longer. Only possible solution is to get out the battery & cut the current. Fun (1) a similar problem of "hanging" when you use the DVD image

    Thank you very much for all your tips & advice...

  • Black screen when viewing of DTV, can hear the program, but no image.

    original title; Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 - black screen when viewing of DTV, can hear the program, but no image.

    When I set up my Windows XP Media Center Edition PC to view DTV, I used the Setup etc., XP scanned and found all the available DTT channels. I thought as much, worked for BBC1, BBC2, worked, then I went to view ITV1 and other channels, could hear the noise perfectly, but there is no picture, just a black background. He used to work because I previously installed the computer. However, wouldn't be a difference that the TV signal will of the antenna, in a block of TNT, and then in the computer, there always used to work. I have that, it is not a signal problem because I could watch the TNT cable SCART on the computer and the image and the sound is fine just using the freeview box. It seems to be the Media Center.
